It may start and stop momentarily or run for several minutes. When PTO switch in on position stays on. Not sure if this a electric switch problem or problem with valve that actual engages PTO. Anybody have similar problem or better yet a solution?

Does any one know who makes the back hoe for them? It looks like a Rhino, definitely not a Woods.
The back hoe bucket is only 12" and I would like to get at least a 16". The tractor is 2008 model year, 350 hours pretty clean tractor. ]]> Montana Gil Case http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/montana/281796-montan-3040-back-hoe.html clutch problems http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/montana/281645-clutch-problems.html Sat, 01 Jun 2013 00:50:44 GMT I bought my Montana U4384 with 50 hrs on it thought I got a good deal, well the steering unit under the steering wheel was leaking oil evidently it... I bought my Montana U4384 with 50 hrs on it thought I got a good deal, well the steering unit under the steering wheel was leaking oil evidently it leak onto my clutch because it started to slip after using it for about 4 or 5 hours so I adjusted the clutch to get it moving again. this worked for about a week, use it for mowing mostly. I talked to the dealer and he said that the oil leaking wouldn't hurt because the clutch was sealed. well i had to adjust it two more time while I was waiting on a new steering unit. Replaced the unit and now I think the clutch is slipping again as it wont hardly pull itself on any kind of grade. Does any one have any ideas what it could be , or how to replace the clutch, or where I might get info on replacing a clutch. Any help would be appreciated......the dealer says the warranty is off as it is 3 yrs old and he sold it to me as a used tractor Thanks in advance ]]> Montana lsd http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/montana/281645-clutch-problems.html Has anyone replaced a Model 100 loader valve? http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/montana/281602-has-anyone-replaced-model-100-a.html Fri, 31 May 2013 15:46:33 GMT I have a 4540 with the Model 100 FEL made by Ameriquip for Montana.

Has anyone replaced the loader valve and if so, what brand and model did you replace it with?

The original owner of my tractor used it with a grapple on the FEL for a Katrina cleanup business and this loader valve looks like it came off of a 40 year old tractor. No boot, it leaks, joystick is a piece of threaded rod and sloppy loose. One of the ball studs broke this past weekend and I took it to be rebuilt but it uses an odd size that we have failed to find. I can order a joystick mechanism kit from LS but it's as much as most brand new loader valves. And the valves I find all would have to be "engineered" to mount up. Just checking to see if anyone else has been through a swap.
